scary lawyerguy:
What this campaign has shown is that the unfiltered "Let Trump be Trump" is a toxic stew of bigotry, xenophobia, anti-semitism, misogyny, and racism coupled with promises to use the levers of government to silence dissent, prosecute his foes, and reward his allies. Media shrugs.
"Once the Trump campaign realized there was nothing he could say that our press wouldn't ignore or smooth over, there was nothing holding them back from an all-lies approach. The refs fell asleep, so one of the teams started carrying knives onto the field for every play."
Robert Reich calls it 'sanewashing'!
@Bix Mainstream Media is owned by 6 Mega Corporations. They answer to tax breaks/shareholders NOT the public interest. The Fourth Estate ceased to be 'government's watchdog' following the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine. Rinse. Repeat.
@Bix . What did the stain do for 4 years? Besides kill 1 million Americans and kill the economy .
@Bix All mainstream media sources are owned by mega trump donors.

There's just never been a campaign like this where literally everything they say is based on lies. And not just like misrepresentations, but up is down/ black is white lies. And it's just completely treated normally by the political media.
